It's a huge blow losing Victor Osimhen but we shouldn't lose faith already. This game is either you win or come back home for the super eagles. I'm keen to see how they react on the pitch. I get that records are meant to be broken, but this image below gives me some sense of peace and calm prior to the game. We have a good defenders, we just need our strikers converting chances.
The head to head favors the Super Eagles, we hardly lose to Bafana Bafana and i hope that continues today. The thing about today's game is that a draw is not enough for the Super Eagles, but it would be a great result for Bafana Bafana
, for. For the Eagles, it is either three points or no World Cup next year for us.
That said, i don't know why Alex Iwobi was playing more like a number 6 (defensive midfielder) in the last game, we need his attacking prowess further up the pitch, so that is something the manager should look into. I also felt Lookman was played out of position in the last game, these are the nuances the manager should look to correct, fine details would decide our fate, so we must get it right.
